The Yamaha Clavinova CLP-835 blends over a century of acoustic piano craftsmanship with cutting-edge digital technology, delivering authentic grand piano touch through the GrandTouch-S keyboard. This exceptional digital piano features binaurally sampled Yamaha CFX and Bösendorfer Imperial concert grands with Grand Expression Modeling and Virtual Resonance Modeling. Perfect for beginner to intermediate pianists seeking world-class sound quality, realistic touch response, and comprehensive features in a beautiful, space-saving design.

Product Overview

The CLP-835 showcases elegant cabinet construction in a sophisticated matte black finish that exudes contemporary refinement and versatility. Measuring 57 11/16" W x 36 5/8" H x 18 1/16" D, this space-saving taller acoustic cabinet design adds sleek elegance while maintaining a compact footprint. The matte black finish provides a modern aesthetic that resists fingerprints while complementing any décor, creating a versatile focal point that blends seamlessly into contemporary homes, studios, and educational settings while encouraging regular practice and performance.

The GrandTouch-S keyboard delivers remarkable authenticity through 88-key linear graded hammers with escapement mechanism. Each key features precisely calibrated weight matching grand piano specifications, while synthetic ivory white keys and textured ebony black keys provide slip-resistant, highly absorbent surfaces that remain comfortable during extended sessions. The escapement mechanism reproduces the subtle "click" sensation unique to grand pianos when keys are pressed gently, providing valuable tactile feedback that enhances expressive control and technique development.

Advanced sound technology features the flagship Yamaha CFX concert grand and legendary Bösendorfer Imperial samples with binaural recording for exceptional headphone realism. Grand Expression Modeling captures infinite tonal variations based on subtle touch differences, while Virtual Resonance Modeling performs real-time calculations of string sympathetic vibrations, damper resonance, and soundboard reverberation. The stereo speaker system with diffuser technology projects clear, powerful sound with impressive depth, recreating the natural acoustic projection of grand pianos. Fortepiano voices allow authentic performance of classical compositions as originally intended by Mozart and Chopin.

Key Features

GrandTouch-S Keyboard with Escapement

The GrandTouch-S keyboard features broad dynamic range and faithful response to every nuance of touch, from delicate pianissimo to bold fortissimo. The 88-key linear graded hammer system provides each key with distinct weight and return matching grand piano specifications—Yamaha's exclusive technology for authentic key-by-key calibration. Escapement mechanism reproduces the satisfying tactile feedback when keys are pressed gently, while highly absorbent synthetic ivory and ebony keytops prevent slipping and feel remarkably like acoustic piano keys.

Binaurally Sampled Concert Grand Pianos

Experience the powerful, crystalline Yamaha CFX concert grand and the warm, resonant Bösendorfer Imperial with exceptional headphone realism. Binaural sampling captures these legendary instruments using specialized microphones positioned like human ears at the player's position, recreating three-dimensional sound so natural that fatigue disappears even during extended headphone sessions. Each key was individually recorded, capturing every tonal nuance. Grand Expression Modeling enables unlimited tonal variations, teaching pianists how slight touch variations produce different tones just as on acoustic grands.

Virtual Resonance Modeling Technology

Virtual Resonance Modeling calculates the complex interactions of hammers, strings, and dampers in real-time for each of the 88 notes, considering which keys are pressed, pedal timing, and strike velocity. This sophisticated technology recreates the vivid, richly varied expression and limitless tonal factors that define concert grand piano sound, including sympathetic string vibrations, damper resonance, and soundboard reverberation. The result is authentic acoustic piano behavior that responds dynamically to every performance nuance.

Stereo Speaker System with Diffuser Technology

The revolutionary stereo speaker system with diffuser technology delivers immersive sound that fills the room with natural acoustic projection. Diffusers optimize sound distribution to recreate the spatial characteristics of grand piano tone, ensuring engaging, realistic sound from any listening position. The system provides clear articulation across the entire frequency range with impressive depth and power, while maintaining the instrument's elegant, space-saving profile.

GrandTouch Pedals and Comprehensive Features

The GrandTouch pedal system accurately replicates grand piano pedal resistance, leveraging friction to enable precise half-pedal control while reducing the force required to hold pedals in place. Players feel authentic resistance during depression and gradual decrease during release. The 16-track MIDI recorder allows layered compositions, while USB audio recording captures performances to flash drive. Twenty rhythm patterns provide drums and bass accompaniment for various genres. Smart Pianist app integration offers Sheet Music Reader technology and complete instrument control.
